ULTIMATE AFFECTION (Bailey Schiller 24 Aust) L-VL 36” White standards are overlaid light yellow. Falls are light violet overlaid yellow-grey with yellow-grey edge that blends to light yellow, violet blaze below yellow beards tipped violet. One of the last to bloom each season generally beginning in the middle of November. Nicely branched stems carry 8 buds. Makes large plants but is a slow increaser. Untried as a parent mainly due to it blooming so late. Given the pedigree, it should produce some interesting Iris. (Espionage X Cold Fusion) Sdlg no. F100-1
